Step One: Buy a diesel lawnmower
Step Two: Deep fry some chicken in vegetable oil
Step Three: Eat said chicken
Step Four: Put used vegetable oil into lawnmower's fuel tank
Step Five: Fire the lawn care crew
Step Six: Mow my lawn for (almost) free

you can't run veggie oil into a stock diesel engine without it killing itself.

I'm going to be a party pooper and point out that nothing about this is almost free.

Sometimes Oppo makes me hungry. Like now, for instance.

true, but after some spending I would never have to buy fuel for it again and as an added bonus I get an excuse to deep fry food

do diesel lawn tractors even exist?

How much lawn you got? Electric! Push mower would be even cheaper

The kits to convert the oil into biodiesel is fucking expensive on it's own. That's not even including the chicken and what you have to do to the expensive as shit lawnmower. After about 400 years of service(didn't actually math), you would finally save money compared to if you bought a cheap used Snapper.

Thankfully the KFC sucks around here, so that bucket does nothing for my fat ass.

It's perhaps too easy to idealize the KFC experience.
Actually eating it kind of makes me think of this...

Trouble is Deere insists on painting them green, when obviously the diesels should be brown. And manual. And wagons.

When Churches is across the street, there is no competition. I shall indulge in spicy fried chicken.

Some of us might be missing the real point of this post, the crux of which is:
Step Two: Deep fry some chicken in vegetable oil
Step Three: Eat said chicken

I'm glad someone gets it, I just want an excuse to deep fry stuff

No Churches around here, but we do have Popeyes.

Ya, I was surprised it got here so quickly. Why is it called snail mail again?

They are basically the same.

Actually, people here are doing it, but you fuck it up and it does kill itself like you said. I had someone use the mower and they put in a load of filtered (first thing you gotta do) veggie oil which made me hungry every time I mowed with my Kubota, but the filter molded and the lines clogged because I didn't understand that you had to run it *all the time* to keep it moving - letting it set for 2 weeks (because the grass was low) was the death of it.

Quite an expense to save 15 gallons a year. I barely use 5 gallons in a year cutting mine.

Does one ever really NEED an excuse to deep fry? Deep frying is a national pastime in good ol 'Murica

Push mower on a half acre and I haven't even used $20 worth of ethanol free gas the four times I've cut the grass.

Yeah they exist, but are expensive. You can find a used one for a few grand but it will likely be a rather large multi-reel unit like an ex-golf course mower, a little large for most yards :) http://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/hvo/451555
